SO i added your idea to my code and guess what?it worked?!! perfectly !!
but im trying to do the same thing in a case
but its proving somewhat odd

thisform.refresh
*i=0
SELECT v_lclients
GO TOP 




FOR i = 1 TO numpeople 
MESSAGEBOX(i)
	DO CASE
		
		CASE i=1
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtborrname1.value = fbobname
			thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtgarnum1.value = fbonumbr
			i=i+1
            SKIP
            MESSAGEBOX(i)
		CASE i=2
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtborrname2.value = name
			thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtgarnum2.value = numbr
			i=i+1
            SKIP
            MESSAGEBOX(i)
		CASE i=3
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtborrname3.value = name
			thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtgarnum3.value = numbr
			i=i+1
            SKIP
			MESSAGEBOX(i)
		CASE i=4
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtborrname4.value = name
			thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtgarnum4.value = numbr
			i=i+1
            SKIP
			MESSAGEBOX(i)
		CASE i=5
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtborrname5.value = name
			thisform.pageframe1.page5.txtgarnum5.value = numbr
			i=i+1
            SKIP
            MESSAGEBOX(i)
	ENDCASE
ENDFOR 

for some reason if numpeople =5 only text boxes 1,3 and 5 get values but the message boxes shows i values being 1,2,3,4,5,6
if numpeople=2 only the first box gets its value
